About this ebook

Judith Gladstone came to San Francisco after her parents died to find her last living relative, an aunt she has never met. Instead she has fallen head over heels in love with Caleb Coulter, her friend's brother. Caleb has promised to help Judith find her aunt, but she can tell he thinks of her only as a friend, and she struggles to hide her feelings.

When Caleb traces Judith's aunt to the wealthy Whitley family, Judith is reunited with her long-lost relatives. The truths she learns about her past and her parents are shocking and overwhelming, however, and the more she gets to know her new family, the more danger she uncovers. Someone does not want Judith in the picture, and they will do whatever it takes to get rid of her.

Ratings and reviews

"In Dreams Forgotten" is the second book in Tracie's Golden Gate Secrets. Fans of Christian historical romance will not be disappointed with this authors book. Tracie has a gift for incredible storytelling. This is a stand alone book, as are all of Tracie's books. But I was glad that I had read In Places Hidden first. It introduced me to these characters and gave me some background information, I found helpful. The story-line is mainly about Judith Gladstone and Caleb Coulter. We have all of the previous characters, plus a few new ones, who you will either love or love to hate. What an ability Tracie is gifted with, to make a setting come to life. Judith finds herself part of one of the wealthiest families in San Francisco. Here is the description of the mansion seen by Caleb for the first time. "Caleb parked his car and took a moment to marvel at the gleaming limestone masonry. The Beaux-Arts home sported eight white marble columns with Corinthian capitals on the main part of the two-story, hip-roofed house. The grand entryway was arched with an intricately detailed canopy molding. The two sets of floor-to-ceiling windows that graced either side of the entry were also trimmed in elaborately carved shields and swags. To each side of those, the east and west wings of the house jutted out." It is almost as if you are standing next to Caleb observing the mansion too. The Golden Gate Secrets series takes place in early 1900. The great earth quack and fires of San Francisco are written into her story. She makes you experience what many must have gone through during this catastrophe. One of my favorite lines to the story ..."Things happen to change how we feel about people. Love is not a guaranteed emotion. The love shared between a man and woman requires constant work--nurturing. If not, it dies." What a true statement. I totally enjoyed this book and would recommend it to anyone loving Christian Historical Fiction.
